Well those who try appeasement have always failed miserably. What do want us to do , roll over and take what these terrorists throw at us? At least Starmer has had to grow a pair and back the Government to the anguish of ‘terrorist friendly’ left wingers

No it is a sign of weakness, it generally does not work historically.
I think he meant appealing to knuckle draggers just before an election…

Well Terrorists attacking ships in the Red Sea cannot have been planned and done with Tory collusion. The election is nearly a year off yet. Some things are coincidental and can benefit or adversely affect both major parties.

Is there time for another Tory PM before a General Election? I think they'd actually stand a better chance if they brought back Johnson or Hamcam.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the right of the party are already planning this. Would definitely give them a better chance but can’t see anyone winning

There's time, but I just cannot see them trying it at this stage. And if the right of the party were to try it I could see the Sunak wing just calling an election and being done with it.

If the right of the party were planning to oust Sunak, the ideal time would have been tonight, by voting down the Rwanda bill, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen now.

It's highly unlikely there will be another "unelected" PM and it is a poisoned chalice unless it also comes with a general election, where the new Tory leader is in place shortly before it and can say defeat to Labour (which is now virtually inevitable) was nothing to do with me.

A week (and several months before an election) is a long time in politics.

It's the way he just walks off mid-sentence at the end without even so much as a goodbye or handshake with the woman that really gets me.

To be fair to him, it transpires that this clip has been edited, and the full version shows that he didn't just walk away.

(My comment was slightly tongue-in-cheek, I thought the "handshake" reference might give it away...)

The fact he walks away isn’t the bit that’s baffling. It’s the argument he seems to be making that when people are working, work gets done and when they are it isn’t, even though it was in his gift to keep those people working

Edited vids and AI are going to make elections even more awful than they already are. I dread to think what will get made about Khan in the run up to May.

Is there no end to Johnson's craving for attention? regardless of the consequences?

Was reading today that they can apparently just replace the Leader with say Cameron and theory is this is why he was brought back as Foreign Secretary. They would really prefer Kemi Badenoch

LOL.

Their never-ending inability to escape form the grasp of their own idiotic Rwanda policy has now resulted in the Prime Minister make a £1,000 bet with Piers f*cking Morgan. You can tell that Sunak is just floundering now and was totally unable to squirm his way out of the obvious trap.

Imagine being the actual PM and being gulled into a stunt like this. Incredible scenes.

I reckon this stunt may have just increased the chances of the Tories dropping him and trying to install another leader before the election. As suicidal as that would be, some of them must be sat with their heads in their hands thinking they have nothing left to lose.
